SAN Francisco, December 27th.-The
State Board of Trade met at the Grand
Hotel this afternoon. A large number of
inquiries were read including questions as

President ClevelaDd's Golden JubiIe,
Gift TO the Pope


WASHINGTON, December 27th.-The Post
tomorrow will print the following with
reference TO the Presidents gift TO the Pope:
1T is learned from an official source that
President Cleyeland's gift of copy of the
Constitution of the United States to Pope
Leo XIII, on the occasion of the golden
jubilee OF his ordination as a priest. was
suggested indirectly by the Holy Father
himself. When Cardinal Gibbons returned
from Rome last summer he brought very
cordial and congratulatory message TO Pres
ldent Cleveland from the Pope on the sue
cess of his Administration, and well-wishes
for him personally. The Pope, in his in
tervlews with Cardinal Gibbons, expressed
much satisfaction with our Constitution
and great interest in its operation. This
suggested to the President the character of
the eift. No letter was sent with il, but on
the fiy-leaf, in the Presidents hand-writ-
10 the Pope on the tifIicth anniversary of
his entry into t1c priesthood. ."

0RovILLE, December 27th.-A large ex-

rived at 0roville this morning. There
were three carloads of people on the train.
Special efforts are being made to have to-

Others with fresh leaves substituted, and the
exhibit once more looks as fresh as it did
the first day. The gate receipts show that
